Popular Boo..."
Hi, how is August/September connected to names/titles starting with the same letter? I understand why it was for June/July because both start with J, but not why it works for August/September. During April/May, I know it was finding a title with both the letter A and M.. Could someone explain this to me?
Thanks a lot!

You could do that! Or, you could just have a page count with just 1 or just 0 in it. :)
Hi everyone! I know that when you're looking for your post for this challenge, it can be quite tricky since the posts are all very long and it can make things difficult. If you look in message one, I have added your names with links to your exact post. If you click on your name, it should take you to your post so you can find it much easier! If for some reason there's an issue with your name and link, let me know.
